Have you ever heard someone exclaim, “I just got a lifer!” and wondered what they’re talking about?
In birding, a “lifer” refers to a species of bird that you’ve seen for the very first time in your life! It’s a thrilling moment, like a badge of honor, and a great excuse to celebrate (or brag, hello 😊).
So, how many lifers have you added to your list? Share your stories!
I got 7 today on the pelagic boat trip!

Birding Update at The Biggest Week in American Birding: it’s been slow, to say the least! We had hopes the bad weather last night bringing in more birds, but that was not the case, and the boardwalk remains slow. Blanding’s turtles are showing nicely though.

I had lower back surgery at the end of March, but here is some of our recent birding. Mostly prior to surgery; however, the Grasshopper Sparrow was yesterday. Hey…I like birds!
I’m looking forward to attending some upcoming birding festivals and events soon. I’ll be at Biggest Week, the Acadia Birding Festival, and the Southeast Arizona Birding Festival. What about you? Are you planning on going to any festivals or events?
Let me know which ones in the comments!
